From school to work: getting on equally

From school to work: getting on equally is a body of research looking at how children make the transition from primary to secondary school and from school to university and work. In particular the research looks at the different experiences, aspirations and achievements of boys and girls, children with a disability or special educational needs (SEN), and children from different ethnic and social backgrounds.

As part of the research, a range of academic and non academic materials have been produced or are in production. These include: journal articles, working papers, policy briefing notes, presentations, media and blog coverage, charts and tables and an animation. I hope some or all of these will be useful to other researchers, teachers, policy makers, parents and children and young people themselves. New relevant resources will be added in the future so do follow my blog for updates.
